Dielectric resonator used as a probe for high T/sub c/ superconductor measurements

A novel probe for high-T/sub c/ superconductor measurements based on the post dielectric resonator is described. Advantages of the device and the method of measurements include high sensitivity, simplicity, ability to measure small superconductor samples, and nondestructive measurements of selected areas of larger samples including thin-film superconductors. The technique and selected results are presented.<<ETX>>
